Typical Price

Rain at Sanjusangendo — the famous hall of 1,001 Kannon statues — is one of Asano's most iconic subjects, with the temple's extraordinarily long roofline providing dramatic compositional structure in wet conditions. This much-admired print typically commands $200-$500. The rain streaks accentuate the building's remarkable horizontal sweep in a way that sunny versions cannot match.
